A broken mind
With broken thoughts
And what I find
Is all for naught.

A cloud within,
A toxic fog
Of what I'm been
And what I'm not.

A broken smile,
A shattered heart
Was once beguiled
Now torn apart.

I loved you so
I love you still
You had to go
And leave me chilled.

Alone I am
Alone I fell
Alone I will be
But

I wish you well.

Down in the water

Out by the rocks

Know that I want her

I'm feeling the shock

It's raining harder

Than I can take

Can I go farther?

And rid the ache

Oh how I sought her

To see her smile

Heart's grown much larger

At least for a while

Drown in the water

Cold, shivering arms

Moon's getting smaller

It's suddenly

Warm

Branch out, oh Tree
Such growth of thee
Branch out, branch out
And grow so free

You dress in green
The skin unseen
You dance so slow
For seeds you sow

You bask in light
To reach such heights
You cast such shade
On grass displayed

Branch out, I plea,
Grow quick, oh Tree
Branch out, branch out
And shelter me!

Dark night,
Moon light
Ever slightly sway

Shine bright,
Ever slight
Stars that lead the way

Take flight,
Past fright
Wherever we may stray

Sleep tight,
Good knight
Toward another day

Alone again on mists of grey
Atone again for sins astray
Longing for the touch of they
Belonging to another day
Crying for the love of old
Scrying for my dreams untold

Wanting to remove the sting
Searching for any thing
Looking at my heart they hold
Grasping for anything
Anything...
To remove..
The cold.

In the wildest nights
and sacred hallows
We find ourselves
upon the gallows
Of life and death
and lost in between
Where dreams and reality
enforce the unseen.

Woe, we the lost
and those we follow
We find ourselves
to be the hollows
In meaning and madness,
devoid are we
Caged in thoughts
when we are free.

All fears and fright,
the head it swallows
Together alone
An ocean shallow
Keep afloat
but drown shall we
When tears and smiles
consume our dreams.

Woe, we in love
Woe, we so shallow
We find ourselves
upon the gallows
In meaning and madness
we crave to be
The slightest touch
-Will set us free.

There's a world in my mind and it's about to crash down
Try not to feel scared and to not make a sound
Can't be hidden away and I cannot run off
The world that I'm in has gotten so tough
It withers away and keeps falling apart
I cannot remember my hope at the start
But as you will, and think and say
This isn't a place that i'm able to stay
I have to jump, to the dark and deep
Go past the lands of sorrows and sleeps
To the morrow we come and towards the sun
A beginning that hasn't yet begun
So sleep well, sweet dreams, and good night
And don't let the bed bugs bite

You entered my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
And just as quickly
You went away

You took away my sight
With promises of bliss
And for a while
You were right
I'd give it all again
for another kiss

But you exited my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
So dark and free
Fleed the light of day

You burned away my light
With the fire you began
And for a while
It felt right
I'd do it all again
for another chance

You changed my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
Because now I can see
And now I stay away

The dreams of tomorrow
Now sound so hollow
And the whispers of today
Just keep drifting away
As the pictures of the past
Keep flashing by so fast
My state of mind keeps losing
To a state of my own choosing
Numb I become
I become numb.

Isn't it funny how
a bit of hope
Can make a home
But a bit of rope
Means you're gone?
